Carnival costumes for children

Everyone loves a masquerade! This is a great opportunity to try on the role of any hero and perform in a new image. Kids especially love fancy dresses - when is there still the chance to reincarnate as your favorite character? If your child has a holiday that requires a carnival costume, the choice is responsible. The market today offers a lot of options for such costumes, and the baby will remember the holiday for life, so it is important not to lose the choice.

Most often, children wear carnival costumes for the New Year party. Each, perhaps, has photos of a Christmas tree in the image of a Snowflake or a bunny. Preparation for such a holiday has always been incredibly exciting - you had to choose an image, think it over and assemble, sometimes, from improvised materials. Today it is not necessary to do this, as in the stores there are a lot of options - who the child should be at the masquerade. Let's figure out what you can choose.

• Attributes This is not a complete costume, but rather a hint of it. Say, if the child is in the image of Harry Potter, you can buy a mantle and a magic wand, and trousers and a white shirt will harmoniously complement the image itself. The same applies to the image for a girl, for example, a butterfly. In the store you can buy beautiful shiny wings that are attached to any elegant dress. The addition will be the rim with antennae horns, and the outfit is ready! It also includes all kinds of weapons - sabers for pirates, shields and swords for brave knights, pistols for police officers.

• Makeup. Some carnival costumes are sold immediately with a makeup kit, because some characters have a bright skin color (for example, Shrek or Bart Simpson) or other features. Makeup will be required to create an animal costume - mustache and strips for a cat or tiger, spots for a Dalmatian. For the role of the princess or fairies, sequins or decorative rhinestones can come in handy, for the role of a robber or a superhero, you will need to draw courageous scars.

• Clothing. As a rule, these are costumes of recognizable characters that are difficult to sew on their own - Spider-Man or Superman, Winx fairy, The Little Mermaid, Snow White and other heroes. Their clothes are unchanged and it is easier to buy a ready-made outfit than trying to assemble an image from similar things.

• Full image. This is, so to say, a “turnkey outfit”, to which you only need to pick up shoes, although there are options where this is the key point - for example, Puss in Boots. Such costumes greatly simplify life, because parents do not need to cook anything, just iron the outfit and look forward to the holiday with the child.

Another feature of fancy dress is that you can not only buy them, but also rent them. This is quite convenient, given that the children are growing, and next year the baby can not only stop loving the hero, but just grow out of last year’s carnival costume. Various agencies solve this issue. But there is also a minus - the baby will not be vigilant to ensure that he doesn’t tear or spoil someone else’s thing, which means that if the probability is still to pay the full cost for the outfit. To spoil a child’s holiday by endlessly yanking him, worrying about clothes, is pretty stupid.

For the smallest. If your child has barely learned to walk, or even will spend a holiday in your arms, this is not a reason to refuse a suit. There can be any reason - a New Year's holiday, a photo shoot, or just a theme party. A kigurumi costume is best suited for this occasion. This is a one-piece body, in which the baby will be comfortable so that he does not even notice that he has tried on the role of a character.

Carnival kigurumi can portray anyone - from a touching animal, for example, a bunny, a teddy bear, a penguin or a kitten to mutipersonality, for example, a minion. There are images of superheroes for the smallest, as the sign of Batman or Captain America, Vander Wuman or Catwoman can be applied to any clothes.

A curious option would be a costume that imitates a product. The kid in the outfit of a mushroom or berry, a funny watermelon or strawberry will look funny. Parents with a sense of humor can dress a child in a hamburger or hot dog costume.

Older kids can try on more detailed costumes. Any animal that your baby likes is good for. It can be a hedgehog holding an apple or a fox in a red fur cape on thorns. Boys often like more “courageous" animals: a lion or a tiger, a bear or a wolf. Girls choose more tender characters: a cat or mouse, a butterfly or a ladybug.

For children aged three to five, costumes of characters from fairy tales can also be suitable. For a girl, it can be Vasilisa the Fair or the Little Red Riding Hood, the Firebird or the Swan Princess, Thumbelina or Malvina. The boy is suitable for the role of a hero, Robin Hood or the brave Sinbad the sailor.

Of course, the big niche of carnival costumes are cartoon characters., first of all, Walt Disney. There can be a ton of options: charming Mickey and Minnie Mouse, funny Pluto, funny Goofy or the mysterious Black Cloak. Girls are crazy about Disney princesses: Snow White or Cinderella, Rapunzeli or Elsa.Ariel, Jasmine or Pocahontas can act as the heroine for the costume, especially since these characters have very beautiful, recognizable outfits.

For boys in the Disney world, there are also characters: Aladdin or Peter Pan, Chip and Dale, one of the heroes of Winnie the Pooh.

Separately go heroes who are loved by children of all generations - from the cartoon “Cars”, “Winx Fairies”, the series “Paw Patrol”, “Finding Nemo”, “Doctor Plyusheva”, “Jake and the Other Pirates”. Multipliers were able to make the images of these characters memorable and funny, so the costumes for their roles are popular.

Another fashion trend is the costumes of superheroes and other fantastic characters. True, they are mostly preferred by boys. These are Ninja Turtles, Spider-Man, Batman, Superman, Iron Man or Bumblebee, Wolverine or Captain America. A little advice - if you choose a costume from this category, it is worth discussing with the parents of other boys what their child will come for the holiday so that there are no identical costumes.

Let's note a few more categories of costumes that may be suitable for the New Year holiday, as well as for any other reason:

• Angels, cupids and cherubs;
• Witches, devils and wizards;
• Dinosaurs and dragons;
• Various professions: cooks, policemen or magicians-illusionists;
• Variations for girls: Princess of the night, fairy of dawn, star witch;
• Volumetric costumes: SpongeBob, Hulk, Transformers and others;
• New Year's costumes: Snowman, snowflake, assistant Santa Claus, elf;
• Kigurumi Costumes: Totoro, Stich, Hello Kitty.

For children older than three years, participation in the selection of a costume is a great joy. If the outfit is not interpreted by the rules of the holiday, ask the child who he wants to be. As a rule, parents know which characters the baby likes best and will be able to choose the right costume. Manufacturers are vigilantly watching what is fashionable in children, so there should not be problems with the purchase. The only thing worth paying attention to is the timing of the purchase. New Year is the hottest season in terms of carnivals, and if you contact the store late, it may turn out that all your child’s favorite characters have already been sold out.

It is also important to consider the age of the child. Kids of two or three years old should be comfortable in a suit, too voluminous or hot outfit will not suit such a crumb, so it is likely that in a few minutes he will want to undress. You should not choose costumes for babies where something is worn on the head - during the game, the child may drop the jewelry or it will prevent him from enjoying his life.

When choosing a suit for an older girl, it is important that he takes into account the features of her figure. Do not buy too tight outfit, with a large neckline on the chest or back. Narrow long skirts, which restrict movement, will also be uncomfortable. It is important to remember that a girl wants to look beautiful, so you should not advise her too modest and reserved costume - carnivals are created in order to create spectacular images!

With boys in this matter easier. Reliability is more important to them than the appearance of the costume. If the character that the child has chosen has a hat, a sword or other attributes - it must be necessary, otherwise the baby will spoil the mood.

Equally important is the quality of the costume. Despite the fact that the child can wear it only once in a lifetime, the requirements for this clothing are the same as for any other. First of all, it is important that the synthetic material does not cause allergies in the child - it is better if such a suit has a natural lining or you can sew it yourself. Choosing a fancy dress, you should not put the appearance more important than comfort - for example, fur outfits will “help” the baby to sweat, and too tight or bulky will prevent them from taking part in fun active games.
